Applications of Active Optical Cable (AOC)

Sopto’s new active optical cable assemblies, which use proprietary technology, yield a lower cost per 10G link than active copper cables. Combined with performance increases, lower weight and easier cable management, this active optical cable enables a high data throughput interconnects up to 100m.

Active Optical Cable assemblies have been designed to support multiple protocols. Most of them are compliant with SFP+ Ethernet and InfiniBand electrical. From the list as below, you will find what a typical 40 Gb/s QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) AOC supports.

1. Multi rate: 1.0 Gb/s - 10.3125 Gb/s (per lane) 2. 4-Channel full-duplex active optical cable transceiver 3. InfiniBand SDR (2.5Gb/s), DDR (5 Gb/s), QDR (10 Gb/s) 4. Ethernet 10G, 40G

5. Fiber Channel 8G, 10G 6. SAS, SATA 3G, 6G 7. Fiber Channel SAN 10G, 20G, 40G 8. Myrinet 40G

Active Optical Cable assemblies can be used on optical backplanes, rack-to-rack, shelf-to-shelf interconnect, storage, hubs, switches, routers, servers, etc.If you want to know about Sopto’s AOC cable, please feel free to send mail to rita@sopto.com .
